Virtual Core Services Solution

NEC/Netcracker Virtual Core Services Solution

Take a new approach that enables you to choose best-in-class vendors with full-service automation and a foundation for new revenue opportunities.

Overview

Migrating core network services ? such as VoLTE, VoWiFi, mobile data and GiLAN ? from physical to virtual has become a business necessity and it must be executed correctly. Since large transformations rarely occur in the core, service providers have an opportunity with NFV to take a new approach which ensures their virtualized core network is open and automated, enabling optimal efficiency with their choice of any vendor.

Because the transition to virtualized core services will take time, both physical and virtualized components will need to co-exist. Furthermore, core network services must sustain their high availability and performance in the virtual world, though they are among the most complex. A virtual core service can involve dozens of VNFs and hundreds of VNF components (VNFCs) that require individual management to scale, de-scale and self-heal. Operational processes including onboarding, provisioning, service assurance and problem resolution need to be redefined, remapped and facilitated with the proper tools. And finally, to drive new revenue from innovative services on top of core services, service providers will need a better process to onboard and manage a larger number of vendors.

NEC/Netcracker's Virtual Core Services solution delivers a new approach to core services virtualization. It offers end-to-end service and network orchestration based on NEC/Netcracker's Agile Virtualization Platform and Practice (AVP).
